"All I need is a second chance..."

"A second chance to make things right."

Watching the world in front of him crumble before his very eyes, Valyr felt immense regret.

He and his comrades made sure to prepare for every possible mishap, for every possible thing that could've gone wrong... yet in the end, their side still lost.

Feeling his consciousness slip away from him, the young man screamed out into the heavens, wishing at his dying moment to get a second chance. A second chance to make things right.

Thankfully, the heavens responded.

Sending him back into the world where everything began, Valyr was reborn as an NPC of Greater Beyond a year before the game went live.

Armed with all of the knowledge he'd gained from his past life, as well as the goal of not wanting the past to repeat itself, he was going to make sure they won the final battle this time, stopping at nothing to achieve it.

Though, before he could do that, he'd first have to pick up the path he ventured in the past.

MMORPG: Rise of the Primordial Godsmith

With the crowd cheering one more time in response to Julian's words, the latter went ahead and laid out the rules that would be governing the forging duel between Valyr and Theraldine.

"First and foremost, I shall be the arbiter of the forging duel between the two young and talented blacksmiths we have here today," said Julian once the crowd became silent. "Though I shall be enlisting the help of a couple high-tier blacksmiths in the background to determine the winner of the forging duel, I shall have the final say on the judgment."

"I presume none of the people here have any complaints with that, right?" Asking this question to the audience surrounding the stage, Julian looked at them with rapt attention, wanting to see if anyone was going to voice any dissent towards the matter. Seeing that there were none, Julian faintly nodded before proceeding to move onto the next rule.
